Chapter 31, a certain Shi Jilong
Wei Xun's plan was to sail further away and kill him to Youzhou in one go. Yan Kingdom is near the sea, and it was originally half under the rule of the Duan family, but now the Duan family and Liu Kun have been driven away, and it is Kong Chang who controls its land. Wei Xun said that although there is no real port there, the terrain is more suitable for landing warfare, and we can go there to loot supplies and population, so as to make up for the lack of Donglai - of course, more importantly, to stab Shile in the ass.
It's just that this knife stabbed farther, and it may not really be able to help Shao Xu...... So what? People are expensive to save themselves, we can't save you for the time being, it's an objective fact, and it's rare to be willing to make a gesture, I believe that neither Chang'an nor Luoyang can beat the board on our ass.
The key Wei Xun was instructed by Pei Gai to encourage the maritime merchants to go north to Youzhou and Pingzhou, but as soon as the trade route was opened, most of Youzhou was occupied by Shi Zhao, and Kong Chang strictly forbade local trade with Jin merchants. Wei Xun lost a lot of income because of this, and he was on fire in his heart, so he put forward this suggestion on both public and private matters.
The two hit it off, so Su Jun stepped up the selection of soldiers who knew how to water and trained them, while Wei Xun went to gather the merchants - his ten old ships alone really couldn't hold many soldiers. When Luoyang ordered, Xi Jian and others had no choice but to increase the funding for the "Donglai Battalion" and the sailors, and Su and Wei immediately released the ship to the north. There were more than 40 boats of all sizes, carrying nearly 2,000 troops, and went straight to Yan Kingdom.
At the same time, Wei Xun also sent maritime merchants to Beiping to inform Duan Wenyang—Duan Piyan could not believe it—and asked for a response at that time.
Harassing the enemy's coastal areas with ships and troops is not a strange thing, in the original history, after Shi Le occupied Qingzhou, he often let the ships go south and looted the Huiji, but it is ridiculous that the Eastern Jin Dynasty court had no countermeasures to stop it, and there was no means and willingness to counteract at all. In this timeline, Schler sees himself as a victim of this strategy, not a profiteering......
The boat takes time, so press the table for the time being. It is said that Huyanmo led the army into Leling Kingdom, and Shao continued to go out of the city to fight unfavorably, and was forced to shrink back to the second city. Huyanmo immediately set up a formation in the east of the city, pretending to prepare for a strong attack, and at the same time writing a wide range of texts, asking Cao Wei to also send troops to join. Of course, Cao Wei made all kinds of excuses, and it was expected that he would not move if he dragged it.
Huyanmo is naturally just the front army, two days after the former army was sent, Zhao Taiwei Shi Hu returned to Xiangguo from Jinyang and Chengcheng, and was immediately ordered to personally command the 50,000 army to the south, and the thirteen generals of the department, with Taifu Zhang Bin as the supervisor.
He threatened to the outside world that the purpose of this trip was to reinforce Taobao and other generals to attack Li Ju and Li Shihui in western Hanoi. However, as for the military march, they ordered to camp and rest, and at the same time sent people to the nearby Yanjin, Jianjin, and Wenshijin to survey the hydrology, which implied the intention of building a pontoon bridge......
This Sanjin is in Yan County, in the west of Puyang State, Yanzhou, when Cai Bao, the assassin of Yanzhou, was stationed in Puyang, and when he heard the news, he went to the riverbank to supervise the defense work on the one hand, and sent an envoy to Luoyang on the other hand. So Zu Ti sent Wei Ce to lead an army of 5,000 to reinforce Puyang.
But both sides knew very well in their hearts that the Zhao army would not wade through Sanjin - because that place was in the west of Yanzhou, too close to Luoyang, the Jin army could be reached in ten days, and the grain route was also very smooth. So Shi Hu handed over the military power to Zhang Bin, led 3,000 elite horsemen to the east, traveled more than 500 miles in four days, crossed the river and pointed directly at Licheng.
In the same way, Wei Ce led his army to Puyang first, met with Cai Bao, explained in detail Zu Ti's strategic policy, and then also went east along the river to Gucheng.
Shi Hu arrived first, and when he crossed the river, he sent envoys to Licheng and Guanggu, asking for a temporary loan from Licheng. Cao Wei was reluctant to talk to him, but Shi Hu's tone in the letter was very harsh, saying that since you belong to my Zhao country, you should personally experience Rong Xing and serve the king of heaven. You must know that my family does not need to use a soldier to attack you, as long as you do not rescue Su Jun when she attacks, you will be destroyed - sober your head!
At the same time, it was reported that Su Jun's main force brazenly crossed Weishui, approaching Juxian and Yidu, and was only fifty or sixty miles away from Guanggu - Su Zigao was afraid that Cao Wei would send troops to echo Huyanmo, so Chen Bing intimidated - Cao Wei was naturally afraid, so he had to go to Wenli City and allow the Zhao army to station.
In fact, before the envoy he sent arrived, Shi Hu had already entered Licheng safely - the guards of Licheng did not dare to directly attack the edge of the Zhao army, so since General Cao had declared himself a vassal to Shi Tianwang, we are a country, is it necessary to close the city and carry it hard, and not die to find death?
Shi Hu left the army to guard Ma Qiu to garrison Licheng, and he rode finely, and carried more than 3,000 people of Cao's army, galloped all the way west along the south bank of Jishui, and arrived at the suburbs of Lu County in one day and night. Lu Xianling suddenly heard the alarm, and couldn't help but be shocked, and at the same time a little confused - "Since the cloud is from Licheng, is it not Cao Junhu?" How will it be a Karma Army? He hurriedly ordered the four gates to be closed and recruited the people to go to the city to help defend it.
The geographical location of Lu County is also very important, just on the side of Shihu's approach, if there are one or two thousand elite soldiers, it is possible to cut off Shihu's back road in one fell swoop. However, Zhang Bin, Cheng Yao and others had already found out in advance that the soldiers of Jibei were all in Luzicheng in the county, and there were only a few hundred county soldiers in Lu County, which was not a problem. Therefore, Shi Hu dared to let go of Lu County and went straight into Pingyin City.
According to the original plan, after Shi Hu entered Licheng, he would have to rest for a few days, and wait for Huyanmo to withdraw his troops from the city of Yanci, and turn around to join - otherwise you will have 3,000 horsemen, which is too thin, and it may be difficult to break the enemy. However, Shi Hu knew the truth of the speed of the soldiers, and he was also arrogant and had no spare eyes, so he didn't worry about the Jin army being able to defeat him head-on - unless Zu Ti led the army from Luoyang, but if the army did, how could it not be known? Otherwise, why would I have brought only 3,000 horsemen to Henan—so the march was so fast that it was greatly unexpected by both sides.
Zu Ti has already traveled to the counties of Wenji, first worshiped Dongping Neishi Xu Niche as the general of Jianwu, and ordered the four counties to guard the prime minister - Dongping Xiang Xu Niche, Jibei Xiang Huan Xuan, Taishan County Shouyang Jian and Rencheng Xiang Zhou Mo - each led troops and horses, gathered in Jibei, and obeyed the command of Xu Gong. For fear of leaking military information, except for Xu Gong and his secret book to explain the strategic prediction, he only said that it was to consolidate the defense of the south bank of the Yellow River.
When Shi Hu occupied Pingyin City, the soldiers and horses of Jibei were all in Luzi City, and only Xu Gong's general Yao Xian led 500 soldiers to meet, and the troops of several other families were still on the way. Therefore, Jibei Xianghuan announced the report, hurriedly ordered troops out of the city, and went to Shimen to block Shihu.
Shimen is also a small town, between Pingyin and Pingyin, but twenty miles away, Huan Xuan has just arrived, and Shihu has already killed the city. Yu Yao saw that there were not many troops - the Cao army that was coerced was still far behind, so he asked for an order to go to the enemy to stop the thief's momentum, so that it would be convenient for Huan Xiang to consolidate the defense of Shimen.
So he led two thousand foot soldiers and stood in battle. Shi Hu saw it from afar, and couldn't help laughing: "Here in the north and the south mountain, the dangerous and narrow place is only three miles, the army is difficult to deploy, only the brave can win." If I wait for the Jin base to be completed, it will not be easy for me to pass, and I will come to the formation at the beginning of this year, what is there to fear? He immediately shouted, took the lead, and led the cavalry straight over.
The Jin army was not in full formation, and suddenly the enemy cavalry rushed violently, all of them were shocked and panicked. In order to boost morale, Yu Yao rode his horse and twisted his spear, went to the front of the battle, came to be the army, and asked in a loud voice: "Who will the thief be?" Can I use my name? Shi Hu shouted: "A certain Shi Jilong is also!" ”
When Yu Yao heard this name, he couldn't help but be shocked - although he had never seen a battle with Shi Hu, but he was in the north of Yanzhou, across the river from the Hebei counties, but they were all afraid of Shi Hu like a ghost and god, how could he not hear his name - he wanted to retreat, Shi Hu had already arrived in front of him, and a spear was about to fall off the horse with a spear stabbed by Yu Yao.
The general was killed, the Jin army was immediately defeated, and Huan Xuan did not dare to defend the stone gate anymore, and was forced to withdraw to Luzicheng. Shi Hu drove the cavalry to chase and kill from behind, beheading hundreds of levels, and there were not a few baggage gains.
Immediately, the army marched southeast of Luzicheng. Huan Xuan hurriedly told all parties about the urgency, and Xu Gong and others hurriedly came to the rescue, and gathered troops in Gucheng, southwest of Luzi.
The soldiers of the three counties of Jin, no less than 13,000, saw that the army was weak, Xu Gong wanted to fight, but Yang Jian and Zhou Mo heard that the general was Shi Hu, and they all coveted each other, and persuaded one after another, so it was better to wait for the reinforcements sent by Luoyang to arrive. Fortunately, with them stationed nearby, Shi Hu did not dare to directly attack Lu Zicheng.
Two days later, Wei Ce arrived with his army, took over the command, and immediately asked, "Why don't you attack?" ”
He said that Shi Hu rode into Licheng lightly, and drove all the way to this point, if we can concentrate superior forces, we can break it in one fell swoop. I believe that Shi Le will not lead a few thousand horsemen to go deep into the enemy territory to send him to death, presumably there are reinforcements behind, you just wait here, want to consume with him, but I don't know that the longer the time, the more dangerous it will be!
Zhou Mo arched his hand and said: "Although there are many soldiers and horses in the three counties, in fact, there are not many people who can fight, such as Huan Xiang's Jibei army, if they don't turn their heels, they will be defeated by the thieves, so we have to wait for the general to lead the Chinese army to come, so we can fight a decisive battle with Shi Hu." ”
Wei Ce also knew that the combat effectiveness of these foreign armies was limited, so he no longer reprimanded, so he selected 2,000 elite troops from the three armies, and his own 5,000 Chinese troops, and went out of the city to stand in formation. He just brought Xu Niche with him, and made Yang Jian and Zhou Mo guard the city.
Shi Hu got the report, even if the Cao army monitored Lu Zicheng, he would attack the cavalry of the headquarters to attack the defense strategy, and fought fiercely in the Zhou Shouting - Zhou Shou was the old name of Lu Zi, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the prince of Zhou became his father and ran to Qi, and then captured Rong Ru, the younger brother of Changdi Qiaoru, who invaded Qi on the battle array, and buried his head at the north gate of this city, so he was named "Zhou Shou"; As for the Zhou Shou Pavilion, it is the township pavilion under the jurisdiction of Lu Zi.
The two sides fought from Chenshi to the afternoon, although the Jin army was outnumbered, but it could not resist the strength of the cavalry and the courage of the stone tiger, and it was on the verge of collapse several times. Thanks to Wei Ce's proper command, Xu Gong fought bloodily, and was able to kill hundreds of fresh troops at the risk of death, forcing the cavalry from the flank, and barely holding the frontal defense line from breaking - of course, the losses were quite huge.
When the two armies were fighting, Huan Xuan also led more than 1,000 remnants of troops from Luzi City twice, and wanted to raid the Qian army and respond to the friendly army, but unfortunately they were blocked back by the Cao army. However, Cao Jun was also in a hurry twice because of this, which restrained Shi Hu's energy, so he failed to make a contribution in one fell swoop and completely destroyed the Jin master in front of him.
In the afternoon, Wei Ce thought that he had no chance of winning, so he had to restrain his troops and horses and slowly retreat back to Gucheng. Immediately sent an envoy to Luoyang to report the urgency, informing that Shi Hu was in person, and it was difficult to be brave, and it was really not helpful to help the county soldiers - the general should continue to send reinforcements. However, he also expressed his position, saying that even if you don't send reinforcements, General, I am confident that I will hold Gucheng, block Shihu, and prevent him from escaping into the plains of central Yanzhou, but the problem is that Huan Zi Room is trapped in Luzi City, and I really can't save him......
Shi Hu also didn't expect to encounter a hard bone here, fighting fiercely for half a day, every time he missed one step, he couldn't succeed. The most terrible thing is that Cao's army is so weak that even Huan Xuan's more than 1,000 defeated soldiers rushed out of the city, and almost crushed them...... If those 3,000 Cao troops had half the quality of my headquarters, I would have gone down to Gucheng in one go!
The urgent envoy wanted to call Yan Mo to come quickly.
Huyanmo, who was stationed in Leling County, received a message from Zhang Bin that Shi Hu had gone to Licheng according to the plan, so he immediately made a false banner to paralyze Shao Xu, and then hurriedly returned to the west of the division and then crossed the Yellow River. However, when he arrived in Licheng and inquired again, he said that the Taiwei had personally led 3,000 horsemen to continue westward, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly drove his troops and horses to chase after him from behind.
Passing through Lu County, he was not as easy as Shi Hu, so he divided his troops to attack. Lu County only held for one afternoon before it was breached, and the county order also committed suicide by hanging the beam.
Huyanmo arrived on the fifth day after the Battle of Zhou Shouting, and Shi Hu was so bold that he immediately attacked Luzicheng with his army. Xu Gong led his troops out of Gucheng several times, trying to contain the Qian army, but they were all repelled by Huyanmo.
As a result, the situation gradually became clear, and the Jin army could barely hold Gucheng, but it was rare to win when they went out to fight, and as for rescuing Luzicheng, it was even more fantastical. Xu Gong couldn't help but be anxious, and repeatedly asked Wei Ce: "When will the general send troops to help?" I'm afraid that the Huanzi room won't last until that time......"
In fact, Xu Niche and Huan Xuan do not have too deep friendship, and even there are often disagreements between the two - in general, due to the influence of personality, Xu Niche basically has no friends - but after all, he once worked together under the ancestral curtain, and he was released at the same time to be the minister of the county, then Huan Xuan was surrounded, and Xu Niche inevitably had a sad sigh of rabbit death.
Seeing this situation, Wei Ce did not dare to say it clearly, saying that it was very likely that General Zu would not send reinforcements over, and it would be up to us to defend Gucheng by ourselves, and we could only give up Huan Xuan and Lu Zi...... I had to say perfunctorily: "The original plan was to go north with the army and reinforce Li Shihui in Hanoi, so as to contain the main force of the army in the north of the river, then temporarily don't send reinforcements, I'm afraid it won't be the work of ten days and a half months......"
As for Luzi City, Huan Xuan summoned the people to help defend the city, and repelled Shi Hu's attacks several times, but after all, the soldiers were weak and weak, and they couldn't support it.
Even at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, the number of registered households in Jibei was only 3,500 - of course, the actual number was much more - and after the turmoil, most of the land was barren, and the people died and fled. In the city of Luzi, there were only 400 households and more than 2,000 people in the city, and most of the peasant households outside the city could not flee into the city......
Therefore, even the county soldiers led the people, and there were less than 2,000 people who could go to the city to garrison, and outside the city were Shi Zhao's nearly 10,000 elite Chinese troops - Cao Bing was an addition, which could not be counted - even if only half of them came to attack the city, they could still cause strong pressure.
Huan Xuan couldn't help but think, "I'm going to die in this city today?" ”
